Madrid Mayor José Luis Martínez-Almeida defended the city's selection as a host for the Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix on Monday, asserting that the event has impressed the international community. Almeida dismissed previous criticisms regarding the project's viability, characterizing those who predicted its failure as "prophets of the apocalypse."

During his remarks, the mayor also criticized Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility Óscar Puente. Almeida accused the minister of acting as a political commentator rather than fulfilling his official ministerial duties after Puente publicly described the Madrid F1 project as a "truño" (a colloquial term for something poor or worthless).
